    Grayjay is not open source though.

      Grayjay’s source code is viewable by anyone.

        With a custom, very restrictive license. Builds are not reproducible, and code from the project cannot be used elsewhere. For the purposes of security, transparency, and advancing development of (proper) FOSS YouTube clients, Grayjay is effectively closed source.

      You can already do that with PeerTube proper.

        I gladly hear that i am wrong here but i think PeerTube only works with PeerTube sources, and definitely not youtube sources.
